If they developed the area around the 417 east of Moodie then the additional peak traffic wouldn't be going through BC, it would be even closer to the highway (where there's less congestion).
EDIT: But it would mean more off-peak traffic, which is a good thing. More people means more retail variety, better restaurants, more services, and less chance of schools being closed.
